These ioctl flag usage rules seem to be a perpetual source of mistakes.
I suggest a slightly different wording of the commit message which is
hopefully a bit easier to follow:
"This ioctl request reads from uffdio_continue structure written by
userspace which justifies _IOC_WRITE flag. It also writes back to that
structure which justifies _IOC_READ flag.
See NOTEs in include/uapi/asm-generic/ioctl.h for more information."
Please make sure this patch is merged before v5.13 is released, otherwise
the UAPI bug would have to stay for backwards ABI compatibility.
